“I think the fans might like it,” Crane told FOX 26 in Houston. “It might be fun and (it will) certainly get a few people in the ballpark. I don’t see anything negative about that, but the Astros wouldn’t want to do it for the money, the extra gate or anything like that.”

Clemens’ agent, Randy Hendricks, said that the pitcher’s “fastball was clocked at 87 MPH.” He added that Clemens and Skeeters manager Gary Gaetti have been talking about this “for months.”

The 11-time All-Star pitched for the Yankees from 1999-2003, winning the Cy Young Award in both 2001 and 2003. His best season in pinstripes came in ’01, when the 1986 AL MVP went 20-3 with a 3.51 ERA and 213 strikeouts. He then returned to the Bronx for a short stint in 2007.

The two-time World Series champion pitched for the Astros from 2004-2006, winning the Cy Young Award in 2004.
